Geomorphology and rehabilitation of erosion-degraded areas using soil bioengineering in the Rio Bacanga basin, São Luís, Maranhão State
… and the rehabilitation of a degraded area using soil bioengineering techniques. The adopted methodological procedures included: 1. Cartographic and bibliographic surveys. 2. Mapping of the hypsometry, slope, land use, rainfall index and geomorphology of the Bacanga basin, along with analysis of …

Growth and Physiology of Several Urban Tree Species in Soils Disturbed by Construction Fill or Compaction
… to determine the effects of applying fill soil around existing trees and mechanisms for species tolerance to soil compaction, both common site disturbances in urban forestry. Groups of 22-year-old white oak (Quercus alba) and 13-year-old sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua) were subjected to …

Hydrodynamic characterisation of soil subsurface flows for water conservation purposes.
… focuses on the hydrodynamic characterisation of soil subsurface flows using developed new soil column experimental setup to assess the hydraulic parameters of unsaturated soil in the laboratory. The soils in the inland valley of Nigeria's Niger Delta, where agriculture uses more than one-third of …

Defining practical limits for centre-pivot length and irrigation management on Lismore soils
… and application depth on the dynamics of the soil moisture profile and on the quantity and timing of drainage through the profile, particularly for longer centrepivots, where shorter but more intense applications of water typically occur. The potential for design and management strategies to …

SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF THERMAL PROPERTIES IN RECLAMATION COVER SYSTEMS
Soil cover systems are an integral part of a mine reclamation program and are increasing in area. Knowledge of temperatures and thermal properties in the cover system provide important information regarding the energy balance, thermal regime, as well as preliminary insight into soil water content. …

Influence of soil bulk density and matric potential on relative gas diffusivity and urea/nitrate-derived N₂O and N₂ losses
Soil compaction is a common problem, particularly when forages are grazed in winter. High animal stocking rates result in increased soil bulk density (ρb), increases in water‐filled pore space (WFPS) and reduced gas diffusion into and out of the soil. These changes in soil physical properties …
